$500k a year at Dons!! History repeats - nothing but a mercenary pr$ck. We should have known when we lured him with the filthy lucre.

Clark to Pies

Lalalalabumba to Demons

Yes and yes

Who in their right mind would want to play for the Dons?

In all seriousness though he really is making a mockery of this doctors advice for a fresh start. Collingwood - which you can throw a paper plane to from AAMI with the right wind, or Essendrug which speaks For itself.

Former Demon Mitch Clark close to deciding on his preferred new AFL club

The last paragraph describes up 90% of everything that's happened in the AFL over the past two seasons.

Article quotes Bombers offering him 1.5 over three years...

With Ryder gone ...

That implies he is waiting to see what kind of offer Hawthorn come up with.

I think there will be a sort of dutch auction. many bidders I feel.

Would they swap Ryder for him do you think?

Ryder would obviously have to agree to it though.

I'd rather they're Rnd 1 Pick for him, or their compo for Ryder for Clark.

I can't see them giving up anything willingly though, mate. The only reason they'd entertain the straight swap is because Ryder has essentially walked already.

history will record this as one of the most gutless, selfish acts in the history of the game. I hope he never sets foot on an AFL ground again - an if he does, I hope every game is shrouded in controversy and vilification. What a [censored] tool

Looking for a fresh start in a new environment for mental health issues and entertains going to the bombers.

What a gee up.

Hope he send this ar$e to GWS.

I will ask another question; if you were a prospective club recruiting a bloke who has played 15 games over the last 3 seasons (that's 51 games missed through injury) - what would you give up for him?

On history very little, on potential a lot more, in a desperate attempt to get back to finals for a messiah coach maybe to much.

Ryder is going to Brisbane. Essendon will be seeking draft compensation

Essendon wont give up the potential draft pick from Brisbane for a player who has been unstable in a number of areas and has hardly been on the park in the past couple of years.

How the AFL can assume we will be able to trade Clark for anything more than peanuts is beyond me.

Don't expect the club to work miracles with a Clark deal.

We are holding precisely zero cards in this mess.

Agree. Clark is a high risk possible high reward situation.

I cant see any club giving valuable picks for him.

All this sledging and abuse toward Clark is all on the assumption that the MFC actually want to keep him. Given all that is coming out of our club is the sound of crickets, it's a very big assumption.

You may be right, but if Ess are willing to give him 1.5m for 3 years he must have very good trade value.

Can't see how there can be one without the other. Low contract = low trade value. High contract = high trade value.

Ryder is not going to Brisbane - he's Port Adelaide bound from what I understand.

Pick 16 is what Port are prepared to offer; delusional Peptides want a top 5 pick (which is why their preference is for Brisbane - but that pick may be reserved for Beams).

I'm trying desperately to reserve judgement on Clark's character until after a decision on his future is made.

Personally, I think to us he's worth a mid first round to low second round pick, but to any other club it'll probably be more like a fifth rounder.

With Horatio likely to go to North - finals side, fantastic international affairs program, strong community involvement and sense of self righteousness over not being involved in pokies etc - I think the filth are likely going to try to bend us over and roger ramjet us.

Exactly

Mitch is an awesome player. The best on our list.

Doesn't mean he's much of a person though.

His jail bait tatts always intrigued/concerned me. Particularly the cross on the hard bit behind his ear - I've only seen that one on bikies and known felons.

Clark to Pies

Lalalalabumba to Demons

Yes and yes

This would be imho our best outcome. The filth are haemoraging and might get a bit silly ( one hopes)

Lucky for any kid with a Dees jumper with #11 on it.... in so much as a great man once wore it and a kid ought be proud of that , and to wear it. MC will be dead to this club He will join the likes of that other one and shan't be mentioned

I still laugh out loud that he thinks he's an artist.

And that he might one day get any credibility in the visual arts.

This is the most delusional stuff I've heard in a very long time. So astonishingly naive.

It's analogous to me playing kick to kick with a few mates at the park in Rushcutters Bay, Sydney. Nailing a few 'goals' from 60 metres out between some illusory goal posts that I imagine could be there. And then thinking I might get drafted in the first three rounds if I nominated myself for the national draft.

Not going to happen.
